Bolivar Dancing With The Stars is an "all-class" prom and project graduation community and school fundraiser that benefits BHS student's grades 9-12. This year, the competition had 12 fantastic dance teams, each consisting of one community member and one BHS junior or senior. The dancers did an outstanding job, and there were about 1,500 people who attended the event. A huge thank you to the 125+ sponsors and special thanks to the Bolivar Herald-Free Press and Stephens Photography for their generosity in doing team pictures and running ads. Altogether this year's event raised $60,000 total revenue! After deducting the expenses, this money will be divided evenly to all four classes of BHS. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and congratulations to our winners!
